June 2, 2011 at 10:34 amI had an issue with the COM port somehow being taken over by Adobe PDF Writer. Changing that to LPT1 freed up my COM1 port.

June 2, 2011 at 8:21 pmIf you’re on PC, you should not be using a USB-serial adapter, but a Rosetta stone. RS232 to RS422.

June 3, 2011 at 1:55 pmAre you sure it is the OS / hardware?
Perhaps Avid is acting funny.Do you have trouble with other applications using the port?
If not, do maintanance on the Avid software.

June 3, 2011 at 3:25 pmOr try this thing:
https://www.videotoolshed.com/product/24/rs422-file-logger(the free demo will be good enough to test)
And, IIRC, Avid has a small logger app. as well, also worth a try.
And indeed, Edius might work as a test as well.
